Advanced Status Icon Properties

The Properties of the Status Icon for an integrated system in Advanced Mode as seen in the Properties grid are listed below.

Appearance

Layers Opens the Layer Editor, where icon layers are configured to control how asset states appear in the Legend, including visibility and alarm acknowledgment behavior.

Caption

Caption A label for the asset.
Color Selects a predefined caption color mode created in the Caption Color Editor, which controls how the caption color is displayed in Runtime. The available color modes are populated based on the configurations defined in the Edit Caption Color located on the system's Advanced Icon Mode setting page.
Note: The option, Using Alarm Text Color, is automatically selected when both of the following are true:
  • Bind Caption Color to Highest Priority Alarm Text Color is enabled on the subtype.

  • At least one layer that is bound to an alarm is currently visible on the legend icon.

The legend icon will display whatever alarm color is defined for the highest priority alarm type that is bound and visible.

Is Blinking When checked, the caption will blink transparent on every second cycle.
Note: The Caption blinks when asset is in Alarm option applies only to real assets with live state. Legend icons do not represent real assets, so they will not blink using that option. Check this box to force a blinking effect for legend icons in Designer.
Is Caption Displayed Whether the caption is visible (checked) or not (unchecked).
Is Caption Rotated with Asset If the caption is rotated at the same angle as the asset (checked) or not (unchecked).
Note: If this is checked, you cannot set a specific angle for the Caption.

Note: If you have a specific X and Y value set for the Caption, setting this property will override those settings.
Warning: Do not swap between lower middle and center radio buttons, as this may cause Designer to freeze.
Relative Position X The position on the X axis relative to the asset icon to place the caption.
Note: If you set the Relative Location property, setting this will override that setting.
